INSTALLATION
STEP 1 - Determine Where to Install the Water Feeder
IMPORTANT
!
Boiler manufacturer schematics should always be followed. In the
event that the boiler manufacturer’s schematic does not exist, or is
not available from the boiler manufacturer, refer to the schematics
provided in this document.
Determine where to install the water feeder
based on the following requirements:
a. It must be installed within eyesight of the boiler.
b. A minimum 6” (152mm) clearance should be
allowed on all sides for servicing.
c. It must be installed in a horizontal pipe in the
upright position.
d. It should be installed on the cold water line.
Installation Diagram and Requirements
a. Piping must be 1/2” (15mm) NPT
minimum.
b. Full port/full flow valves rated for the
pressure/temperature of the system
and piping they are to be installed on.
c. Arrow on feeder casting must point in
WATER FEEDER
direction of flow into the boiler.
d. Install isolation valves and unions on
UNION
the inlet and outlet piping of the feeder
for easier trouble-shooting and repair/
replacement.

e. Install manual fill valve and bypass line
to allow for removal of the valve while
the boiler is in service.

codes and ordinances.
• To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.
• To prevent an electrical fire or equipment damage, electrical wiring insulation must have a rating of
167˚F (75˚C) if the liquid’s temperature exceeds 180˚F (82˚C).
• To prevent an electrical fire or equipment damage, water feeder wiring must be on same circuit as all other
boiler controls.
Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
a. Test the Low Water Cut-Off on the boiler.
b. Mark location of water level on sight glass where
Low Water Cut-Off turns off burner. This will be
used as reference to test the water feeder’s
operation.
c. Turn off all power to boiler and boiler controls.
d. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove electrical
cover plate.
f. Connect electric conduit to the water feeder’s electrical
enclosure.
g. Based on the water feeder and low water cut-off combination you are installing, select proper
wiring diagram and proceed to that page.
